Background

Emilie Bowen 317 Chemin des Touars Callian, 83440 +44 7423 378036 [email protected] 8 May 2025 Dear Hiring Manager, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my interest for a chef or chalet host position in a French ski resort for the 2025/26 season. With a strong background in professional cooking, customer service, and hospitality in high-pressure environments—including on board luxury yachts—I am confident in my ability to contribute to an exceptional guest experience at your resorts. Having recently completed a professional cooking course at Ballymaloe Cookery School and currently serving as Head Chef on a sailing yacht, I have developed skills toward planning and preparing meals for diverse dietary. Managing a galley kitchen while catering to up to eight guests has strengthened my ability to work independently and maintain high standards under pressure. Beyond the kitchen, I have several years of experience in front-of-house roles, from stewardess duties to high-volume bartending. These roles made me exercise strong attention to detail, excellent time management, and a genuine passion for providing warm, personalised service. Being bilingual in English and French, I am easily able to communicate with both international guests and French-speaking colleagues. I am excited by the opportunity to work in the Alps and to bring my culinary and hospitality skills to your teams. Thank you for considering my application. I would love the chance to speak further about how I can contribute to your team. I am available for interview at your convenience and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much, Emilie Bowen
